tax hike. >> warren buffett will pay more in taxes. that sort of works but he never really got there. >> they think the same thing as what he said last week after he said that the middle class has been buried over the past four years. >> i just don't think people that are dumb. >> i will tell you, though, i would be willing to bet some money that the vice president will be much more effective in his debate with paul ryan than the president was in his debate with mitt romney because the vice president is used to getting beaten up. >> well, that's not a really high bar, is it, now. gene robinson, you wrote "obama's off night gives romney an opening." and i do think that joe biden has been out there and is used to getting beat up. and i think will do very well in the debate along with paul ryan. but your column, talking about obama's off night. can you help us out here? we're trying to figure out what happened to president obama. where was he? >> where was he? that's the question. it was really, you know, you kind of watched the thing unf

i don't have a tax cut that's $4 trillion. i'm not going to cut taxes on the rich. i don't have a medicare voucher plan. i love teachers. i think we need more. don't believe me. speaker gingrich was pretty eloquent in running during the primaries and saying mitt romney will say absolutely anything to get elected. >> you know, the thing is again, robert gibbs is saying this five days late e, four days later. why didn't the president say that the night of the debate? and secondly, i don't know about you guys, but i'm thinking if it was my gut reaction and again, i was harshly critical of mitt romney and i'm a guy that worries first about debt and i always have. i heard mitt romney say i won't pass a tax cut that raises the deficit. sounds pretty much like the romney doctrine to me. that's what i took away from that debate. >> coming up, the mayor of chicago, rahm emanuel joins us. how chicago is going up against san antonio to see which city can get healthier, first. and up next, a new pbs documentary goes behind the scenes of the presidential campaigns for the person
